I need a good radiator for a 1968 JD 45 combine with a 180 cu in 51HA gasoline engine. The radiator has two numbers on a plate soldered to it. The numbers are 1AH6308 and either AH6308 or AH6508. There is a scratch through the 3 or 5 making it hard to verify that number.
The combine S/N is (45- 494**H).
The engine model and S/N is 51HA - 095621T
 
The tubes in the core are split lengthwise because the overflow tube rusted shut. Siince the pressures could not escape through the tube when the cap vented the radiator over pressured and split every tube at both the top and bottom of the core. It is unrepairable according to the shops I have taken it to. it needs a pricy bnew core which is my fall back plan. Lesson learned is "Keep your overflow tubes open and check them often."
